Road closures: three for North Somerset drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around North Somerset will have three National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a wait of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that three closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• M5, from 8pm January 2 to 6am January 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 19 lane closure for barrier repairs.

• M5, from 7pm January 8 to 6am January 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 22 to 21 lane closures for resurfacing.

• M5, from 8pm January 15 to 6am January 18, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M5 northbound, junction 21 to 20 closed for carriageway repairs. Diversion via A370, A4 to M5, junction 18, (Clean Air Zone charge suspended on diversion route during closure times only).

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
